A BILL FOR
HB4462 LRB103 36936 JRC 67050 b
AN ACT concerning courts.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Juvenile Court Act of 1987 is amended by
changing Section 3-5 as follows:
(705 ILCS 405/3-5) (from Ch. 37, par. 803-5)
Sec. 3-5. Interim crisis intervention services.
(a) Any minor who is taken into limited custody, or who
independently requests or is referred for assistance, may be
provided crisis intervention services by an agency or
association, as defined in this Act, provided the association
or agency staff (i) immediately investigate the circumstances
of the minor and the facts surrounding the minor being taken
into custody and promptly explain these facts and
circumstances to the minor, and (ii) make a reasonable effort
to inform the minor's parent, guardian, or custodian of the
fact that the minor has been taken into limited custody and
where the minor is being kept, and (iii) if the minor consents,
make a reasonable effort to transport, arrange for the
transportation of, or otherwise release the minor to the
parent, guardian, or custodian. Upon release of the child who
is believed to need or benefit from medical, psychological,
psychiatric, or social services, the association or agency may

HB4462 - 2 - LRB103 36936 JRC 67050 b
inform the minor and the person to whom the minor is released
of the nature and location of appropriate services and shall,
if requested, assist in establishing contact between the
family and other associations or agencies providing such
services. If the agency or association is unable by all
reasonable efforts to contact a parent, guardian, or
custodian, or if the person contacted lives an unreasonable
distance away, or if the minor refuses to be taken to the
minor's home or other appropriate residence, or if the agency
or association is otherwise unable despite all reasonable
efforts to make arrangements for the safe return of the minor,
the minor may be taken to a temporary living arrangement which
is in compliance with the Child Care Act of 1969 or which is
with persons agreed to by the parents and the agency or
association.
(b) An agency or association is authorized to permit a
minor to be sheltered in a temporary living arrangement
provided the agency seeks to effect the minor's return home or
alternative living arrangements agreeable to the minor and the
parent, guardian, or custodian as soon as practicable. No
minor shall be sheltered in a temporary living arrangement for
more than 48 hours 21 business days. Throughout such limited
custody, the agency or association shall work with the parent,
guardian, or custodian and the minor's local school district,
the Department of Human Services, the Department of Healthcare
and Family Services, the Department of Juvenile Justice, and
